"Horse Girl" is a movie starring Alison Bree, who plays women named Sarah who lives somewhere near the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles. Sarah is women who is shy and doesn't have many friends. She is sweet kind, wholesome and is just there. She works as a salesperson in a craft store. The only thing we know that has deeply affected her is the mother's suicide a year before, a family history of mental illness, and a tragic horse related event that left her best friend mentally comprised. He mother died due to depression, and we find out that her maternal grandmother Helen was institutionalized and died homeless on the streets sometime in the 80's.
Around Helen's birthday things begin to fall apart, just when she meets a guy who really likes her.
That night she has an incident where she wakes up in a white room with two other people. She can't move her body, but she can somewhat move her head. In the morning she is found on a pile of pillows in the living room and believes that the alcohol and pot may have affected her and she had a weird dream. There is a weird claw mark along the wall.... where the roommate is just worried about the land lord seeing it. Over the next few weeks things go worse.... as her car goes missing, she has another dream about a white room (this time a being passes by quickly), she has another incident where she ends up locked outside her apartment with clothes on backwards, and other white room incident where we see a hand, and claw marks on her car. She is also suffering from noise bleeds as well.
It seems that the overall stress of the events starts to unravel her sanity as she is worried that she is falling down the same path of her mother and grandmother. She believes after a quick search that she is being abducted by aliens and that she is a clone of her grandmother. Also she has an attachment to the only thing that made her happy was a horse she had named "Whisper". She still visits him, even though she is owned by someone else nearby the equestrian center near Burbank.
She completely looses it when she goes on a date with the guy she met, and has a psychotic breakdown. She returns home where her roommate confronts her during the night..where Sarah rambles on about need to block the signals....and then hysterically runs into the shower. Then it is morning and she ends up naked at her job. Her boss eventually calls the police.... but a weird incident occurs with the phone.... is which a man is whispering ever word that her boss is about to say. She is then taken is for psychiatric evaluation.
At this point the next part of the movie is a haphazard collection of sequences that goes over her life, what she has uncovered, memories, and confusing realities she is in, ending up with her believing that she is in fact Helen, her grandmother..... and she ends up being abducted somewhere in Griffith Park, lifted into the sky by a light ship.
The movie is meant to be a psychological thriller, where one is left with the question of if this was just all a psychotic breakdown. Now what is interesting that the movie is a real life reflection of Alison's family history. It also an improved movie..... where it was just put together. However there is a lot of deep symbology which resonates extremely with the Alien Abduction experience. It is weird that it just came together....... how did that just happen? The symbology and dialogue seemed very well researched. Is it really just a story about mental illness?
